Re: Sorry no efi, National Organ, and tissue awaremess week



No apologies needed here either... My uncle would not be here for the last
14 years if it wasn't for kidney transplant...
When I went into surgery last week I reminded my next of kin that I was a
donor if something went wrong (also have organ donor card filled out and
signed).
Funny what crosses your mind at times like those.
